Hello, I've seen all the posts regarding to hiring and wanted to chime in. I first received my pre employment letter on October 15, 2014 and was invited to take my drug test on October 18, 2014. After the drug test, I was told to wait 2-90 days for my phone call to compete my final processing. Unfortunately, I never received that phone call in that 2-90 day period and my 90 days expired January 20, 2015. In that period I missed an October, December and February class during that same timeframe. I received my second phone call on Friday May 1, 2015 and was invited to come back May 6, 2015 to compete my second urinalysis and final processing/medical. I was sworn in that same day and was placed into the May 18, 2015 class, which gave me less than two weeks to resign from my employer at the time. I use my experience to juxtapose to everybody waiting be patient and don't stress yourself and family about a process you can't control.
The last thing you wanna do is look at your phone log everyday for missed calls and/or your mail box for a letter. It could be very stressful on you and your loved ones, if they're too taking on your stress. To those waiting for a call to return to take a drug test, it'll happen. To those with a list number of 4,691 or lower you have a great chance of getting hired too.
I have been on the job since May of this year and things are going well thus far. However, I would advise that you guys focus on things like having great health and your 21 page booklet complete so you have nothing that holds up your employment. Landing this job and getting through training will have its own pressure and stresses. Be patient now and let the process of hiring take care of itself.
Stay well everyone....
